Is there a way to block my roommates from using my MX922 wireless printer?

I'd like to limit who has access to my wireless printer. I've tried to do so by turning off home sharing on my Mac but still my roommates are able to print from my MX922 printer. Does anyone know how to block others?

Hello.

The printer is not able to restrict access from particular users. Any user that can connect to the same local network as the printer will be able to install the unit on their computer.

The only alternative to prevent this would be to disable the wireless LAN on the printer and use the printer with a direct USB connection to your personal computer.

Thank you Michael. I was hoping I could set up some sort of security code. Dang those cheap roommates.

Locked closet, and pull the plug when not in use.
